Firefox 33.0, same problem. Right-click the back button and select the page you want to go to, or ABP plug-in for Firefox

I had it. Get it checked out sooner rather than later and don’t aggravate it. Inconsequential things were painful, such as opening a bag of crisps
I didn’t follow my own advice and ended up having an op under general anaesthetic

If you say “gullible” backwards, really slowly, it sounds like “inner tube”

Wherever you go plan an early start before the heat builds up

Try this Gear Calculator

Lamp is handlebar-mounted as close to the stem as I can get it, the battery is strapped under the bars just outboard of the lamp. Worked ok last winter

I’d return it, Garmin say that these are “waterproof to IEC Standard 60529 IPX7” (immersion in 1m water for 30 mins)

I like the Etrex30, same IPX7 waterproofing as the 64st, and cheaper

Cattle grids around here are steel and get a bit shiny-slippery through use, I wouldn’t be hitting any of them at speed!

Ring the insurance company when you’re thinking of selling and get their advice BEFORE selling

The frame I’d take a guess at “old” (bear with me on this!) to a date when fixed gears were the thing and your only bike toured (mudguards), raced, commuted, etc (1950s????)

The kit is maybe mid/late-70s

You could try getting a frame builder to braze the threaded part of a derailleur hanger to the track end (something that I did to mine way back when), but it’ll need a proper check for rust (inside and out) etc before riding (hence frame builder)

The wheels look like sprints, which are pretty close to 700c clinchers in size

Sensa Trentino SL Pro. Bought mine from Merlin, excellent bike and customer service. I preferred the black, but also in red
A lot of Ultegra kit for not very much money (tad over £1k) Sensa
Trentino SL Comp would give you £100+ change and some 105 kit

Direct Line Home Insurance + is what I went with, don’t know if it’s cover is sufficient for you though…+ policy

I use my Blood Donor card (credit card-size / plastic), hole-punched and a lanyard
Embossed name, blood group and donor number and (I assume) NHS accessible
Label on the front / back with info and covered with clear helicopter tape
Not everyone can give blood, but any similar card would do

And now everyone will search Youtube and Strava…

Job for a rainy day, but build one…DIY[/url]…the one in the pic still needs its alignment tools making
Then spend your voucher on something shiny

Try safety glasses. There are some decent looking ones out there for <£10
e.g. Google bolle safety glasses and look at the images, and they’re usually class 1 optics

Have a read here Galvanic Corrosion
It happens between different materials, e.g. aluminium and steel
Grease marks aren’t so bad :-)

Mine fits under the handlebars

Silicone grease has worked well to seal my lights and it doesn’t damage their seals

The velcro-block is the low-cost option, but mine are designed for approx 1.25″ diameter, your lamp I’m guessing is somewhat chunkier

Is there enough metal to drill and tap a hole for a bracket a la Hope Vision 1 / Exposure Toro 5????

And don’t forget a lanyard around your bars, just in case :wink:

For the record…

Strava 21.7 miles and 3020 feet elevation
GPS 22 miles dead (I was) 2813 feet ascent

I prefer the Strava figures, it’s even more steep!

Thanks Danny, I enjoyed the day even though it was hot. Thanks for the tip about the fluids Andy, needed every drop, and a buff dipped in a stream makes a good cold shower too

I took my rubbish home with me, including my riding skills, and only left a few bits of skin and some blood behind

Recommended!

Definitely

Looking forward to it, thanks for the fluids tip

Danny see you at 8 +/- 15 min window for mechanicals, otherwise go on ahead

Pls post RV and time in Derbys just in case

Danny, that sounds good. We could meet at the j23a Moto Services at 8 (or earlier) at the main doors to the services building (not the fuel forecourt) and swap phone numbers, etc
Probably better to go separately as you suggest

What time back in Leics (don’t forget I’ll be slowing you down ;))?

Are you planning a lunch stop or is it best to take food?

Hello Danny
I’m available if you want company, sadly my MTB skills haven’t improved any so I quite understand if you decline the offer (politely or not)

I’ve done this for my Etrex, doesn’t solve the lanyard problem but it might get your 810 back to you

@5thElefant

Use Garmin’s BaseCamp on your pc and connect the Etrex via a USB cable
Choose the Mass Storage option (on the Etrex screen)
The Etrex will appear under “Devices” in BaseCamp

Click on “Internal Storage” and your ridden routes will appear in the pane below (also called Internal Storage)

Right-click the route you want and then left-click “Send to…”, followed by “Memory Card” (give your pc time to find the memory card if it’s not there) and “OK”

Navigate to the memory card/Garmin/GPX your *.gpx will be there with the title “Track”. You can upload it to Strava as a file from there

It’s less faff and less time-consuming than it sounds :)

HTH

Etrex 30 here. Absolutely fine for road and MTB
You can put contact details in that display while the unit switches on (mine’s bounced off the Garmin handlebar mount too!), as has been said, loop a lanyard around the bars.
MicroSD card is really useful, and you can back your mobile phone up to it
No problems with Strava
Altitude readings are a bit variable, my regular commute can vary by 200′ overall, but this might be to do with where the satellites happen to be
Plenty of free maps around

This table gives compounds Trail King (formerly known as Rubber Queen, hence URL)

I use *.gpx tracks
I save them to a micro SD card (fits behind the batteries)
You need the same directory structure as the Etrex30, so you’ll need a GPX folder on the card too

Big advantages for me:
Faster file transfers if you plug the card direct into your PC
Copy card content and keep a backup on your PC
Somewhere to back up your current track data to via BaseCamp (ie Etrex internal memory to PC)

Try this…Calculator

Top timing on this one, thanks, needed some new pliers to make the free delivery up, and a …

“Stay Back” is meaningless. Especially as it is appearing on other vehicles which don’t have big blindspots:

“Stay Back” isn’t the best wording, which is the point of the OP. It’s being redesigned, but in the meantime it’s the best we’ve got

For cyclists from other countries, of which there are many in most cities (students, etc), “Stay Back” is quickly understandable without a phrase book (blind spots and undertakers will probably be in the phrase book section on health)

“If you can’t see my mirrors…” doesn’t work for the type of accidents that we’re discussing. I need to be able to see you

Too wordy and too complex is easily misread, misunderstood or plain misleading

I agree that it shouldn’t be on small vans and cars, it devalues the message that 20% of cycling fatalities in London involve LGVs, so be careful around large vehicles, but I don’t see it as reducing a driver’s responsibilities (or shifting blame to cyclists). If I made a sticker saying, “Stay Back, I’m not insured” I wouldn’t expect the Courts to back me and make your insurance company pay when I drove into you

To summarise IMHO, “Stay Back” is the best we’ve got just now
A form of words/symbols that’s agreed by most, understood by most and used appropriately is going to be some way in the distant future while cyclists are dying in the present

Simple fact, lorries have blind spots. The FTA card on p2 of this thread tells users to,”Be aware of blind spots”

If it’s a blind spot, it’s a blind spot

An “average” lorry has six mirrors to scan, the drivers are only human and with the best will in the world can’t stop, get up, walk 2.5m across the cab, look down 2.5m, get back in the driver’s seat, scan six mirrors and then turn left safe in the knowledge that a cyclist couldn’t have got into a blind spot at 20mph

Any reminder to help prevent this situation is a good thing until reliable technology can be fitted to every lorry and, as a cyclist, I don’t mind what the wording is

Then you have to look for that pedestrian somewhere in front and below, and that you’re not about to prang that car parked at the junction, or take out the pedestrian that is stepping off the kerb perilously near to your rear nearside wheels…

SJS Cycles have a few different makes in stock single[/url], 4 bolt and 5 bolt

Ghost (if that’s what it is) is one of the makes listed here CaneCreek
If your model is in there it’ll give you the necessary info…

Steel ones for a negligible weight penalty and their ability to withstand higher torques than aluminium (what coatesy said)
Should be able to get a set of 4 or 5 for £5.
If you order online read the description as well as look at the photo, you get can them for bashguards, inner rings, etc, etc

Can’t find a reference to SRAM PowerLink fitting other makes of chain; I must be thinking of the KMC Missing Link, there are versions for KMC, Campag, SRAM and Shimano

Depends on the use. SRAM only recommend the 10s PowerLOCK for use with SRAM 10s chains. I seem to remember that PowerLINK was available in different versions for Campag, Shimano and SRAM, but I might be wrong (and often am when it comes to memory!)
I use KMC (Shimano version) with Shimano
